I read it correctly and did reply that it was good that he felt hydrated. However, if he's lost nearly half his body weight, there's a real issue. It may be that he's just getting pushed off the teat and not getting enough food. The beef liver broth is very good..also the syrup to boost his blood sugar. You can also try giving him some time alone on the teats to make sure he gets his fill. Pedi-lyte can also be given to boost his electrolytes (though it's no substitute for food).
Again, best of luck with your little guy.
Ooops...just saw your last post. We're just typing at the same time. At least there's no confussion..just a time lag
